Day 11 – 20 July 2023 – Honningsvag at sea

Last night we stayed up again watching a movie so that we could perhaps see the Midnight Sun, as we are above the Arctic Circle in winter. At midnight we could see the shine of the sun through clouds. At 12.30 am we could see more sunshine reflecting on clouds & at 1 am there was the sun in all its glory – an astonishing sight for us, we had never seen the Midnight Sun previously. We finished the movie & a late night to sleep.

So it was a late morning, the cleaners woke us knocking on our door.  They are used to us getting up early & putting out on the door handle “tidy up please” they must have thought that we forgot. Off to a late breakfast, a bit of time on the Observation Deck watching the world go by then a lazy late lunch. We watched a long movie in the afternoon then a nap before dinner. After another delicious meal (the food is very good on this ship) we watched another movie before bed. Tonight it was too cloudy, no midnight sun.
